Answer to Question 1

Iron absorption from foods can be enhanced by eating foods high in vitamin C and iron-rich foods during the same meal. Another way to enhance absorption is to eat meat, fish, or poultry with nonheme iron-containing foods (grains and vegetables). Note as well that cooking in an iron pan can increase the iron content of foods, which may result in more iron being absorbed.

Answer to Question 2

A
